Base monthly rental payments under the lease of $124,890 will commence on the earlier of October 1, 1999, or the completion of tenant improvements. The Tenant is also responsible to pay all operating expenses of the property including property taxes, maintenance, and insurance. The base rental payment will increase approximately 4% annually. The lease also provides the Tenant with one five-year renewal option at fair market rent. The lease requires the Company to provide tenant improvements to the property totaling approximately $1.7 million of which the Tenant is required to repay up to $1,080,000 in monthly installments, including 10% annual interest, during the term of the lease. The Company will also pay leasing commissions related to the lease totaling approximately $707,000 including $93,000 to Continental Property Management Co., an affiliate of the Company's advisor, Franklin Properties, Inc.
